Review: Only Bones, Assembly Roxy
A wibbly wobbly man does remarkable things with his body in a delightfully extraordinary performance that includes knee-synching to song… Weird maybe but truly breathtaking!
-
Review: Ed Gaughan: The Emperor, Just the Tonic at The Caves
A side-splitting, ridiculous hour of clever, crafted comedy and music from an absolute master.
-
Review: Jellyfish, Underbelly George Square
The quest to live forever proves amusing for our rather unlikeable 100-year-old twins. It's a show filled with great ideas, but the ending needs to be reconsidered for the piece to be truly great.

Review: Very Hot. Very Messy. Underbelly Cowgate
Georgia Polly-Taylor is a talent we should all embrace. She clowns, she farts, she does puppetry, and she leaves the audience in tears of laughter.
-
Review: Dan Lees and Tom Curzon: The Sonic Joy Orchestra, Banshee’s Labyrinth
Off the rails musical masterwork
-
Review: Renée Rossi: God Bomb, Hen & Chickens Theatre
An irreverent, energetic and thought-provoking celebration of human goodness that challenges the absurdities of organised religion.
-
Review: Dying To Meet You, The Courtyard Theatre
An energetic and inventively presented journey through life and death, love and loss, and past and present.
-
Review: As You Like It, Shakespeare’s Globe
This is Shakespearean comedy at its very best in a performance that throws the extraordinary language around with lighthearted revelry.
-
Review: Nothing Personal, Gilded Balloon Patter House
A clever portrayal of trying to be "one of the boys" in the stand-up world, no matter the cost.
-
Review: A Marriage of Inconvenience, Etcetera Theatre
One modern-day predicament plus two very different approaches equals a funny show with room to grow.
